home from my tummy tuck & breast lift

Dear family, I would like to share with you all my experience prior to my PS surgery and my recovery. I had my surgery on Monday the 9th of May. I received a Priesthood Blessing on Saturday prior to Mother Day. In my blessing I was promised a miraculious healing and that the lord would guide my surgeons hands and those who assisted him in the operating room. I went to my first post op appt this past Wednesday and the Dr said to be man you are fast healier. I shared with him my Priesthood Blessing and shared with him what I was promised. He then asked me if he could receive a blessing for the rest of his career and every surgery he does. I simply told him absoulutely pray to your Heavenly Father every morning noon and night and when you feel you need his guidence and comfort to be with you personally and your family he smiled and I will do that. He is catholic I know that he beleives in God . He removed my left side drain but left the right side in. He will remove it this Wednesday. I cant beleive the difference in my body all ready. I havent had any pain at all with my surgery other than the ache in my back from bending over all the time. He told me that he removed over 5 pounds of skin from my stomach and my Breast lift went great I went from a 42 D to a 36 B. I am so excited. When they removed my dressings the 2nd day at the hospital I just stood there and stared at my new tummy and breasts. Wow I was so shocked at the big difference. My Surgeon is simply the best. He is so compassionate and soft spoken and a perfectionist in his skill. I am so Happy with my results. I know that the power of the Priesthood and the blessing that I received is a hugh part of my recovery and results of my surgery. I know that Heavenly Father and my Savior guided my surgeons hands and helped him through the 7 hour surgery. I am so blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life . I have been so humbled from this surgery. I have felt the spirit so strongly with me and its wonderful. I was never scared of my surgery and I knew that I would cared for and watched over by my Father in Heaven. This has been a wonderful example of the power of the Priesthood for my teenagers. They have witnessed first hand the power and love of our Father in Heaven and his desires to bless our lives. I am so thankful for a worthy Priesthood holder in my home and also for a worthy home teacher who helped with this blessing. I am 2 weeks out on Monday and I feel great. This afternoon my son Preston starts his first job at Taco Bell and he is so excited. Then later this evening we are going to Star Wars movies. I dont know who is more excited me or him! I love Star Wars and the strong messages it brings with it. I am excited to share this with him. Well my dear friends I am going to take a little nap now so that I am all rested up for the movies. May the force of our Heavenly Father be with you all is my prayer and desire . Take care, always Kathy

Kathy, I'm so glad that things went well for you. Our Heavenly Father certainly does know us and love us. Keep up the healing. I'd heard horror stories about the pain involved with a tummy tuck. I'm so glad to hear a positive experience. There's hope out there for the chicken in us. Melody
